I think everyone has to understand that there is no right or wrong answer here nor is this something approved by your nationals. It varies from school to school therefore lavalierings and pinnings are held at different levels.

My school, lavalierings are something personal between the couple. It's not really something public but it basically lets the girl wear her boyfriends letters. I havent heard of a sorority girl at my school lavaliering her boyfriend but from the sound of it other schools have it.

Pinnings on the other hand are a big deal. Since we dont have sorority houses we have suites in the top floor of our female dormitory. This dormitory has a balcony on it so when a girl gets pinned she stands on the balcony with her chapter and the fratnerity walks down the walkway towards the dorm usually with torches or such. They then serenade her which is then followed by the boyfriend climbs up the side of the wall to the balcony and gives his girlfriend his fraternity pin. But this is really just a "greek engagement" it doesnt mean that you get to sit in on their ritual or learn their secrets. If that was true I think we would all know a lot more about other GLO especially if the relationship ended.
